Audience:  Government and Public

Vaseux Creek, located less than 10 km north of Oliver, B.C. in Syilx territory, is a location of known water scarcity during summer and fall with a documented presence of ecologically and culturally significant salmonid species. Groundwater-surface water interactions along the Vaseux Creek alluvial fan have been impacted by human channel and land use modifications, sediment movement and flow changes related to natural processes, and water diversion and use. Research in this area was undertaken to refine the understanding of groundwater - surface water interactions across the Vaseux Creek alluvial fan and to provide publicly available reporting to inform water management decision-making related to water allocation, drought response, and ecosystem restoration.
